Donald Trump and Melania Trump have now tested positive for coronavirus, in wake of Hope Hicks' diagnosis. I hope they will all recover soon, that our country will be okay, and that Jill and Joe Biden will be okay.

This is reckless of @MarkMeadows. The @whca needs to make some demands on the pool's behalf. While the disease is incubating in a person, it may not show up in tests. Your membership should not have to risk exposure. https://twitter.com/JuddLegum/status/1312043033291091969
Jill and Joe Biden have tested negative thus far, thank God. I hope they are tested every few days for a couple of weeks. https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1312065485400346625

I don't know why this surprised me. Nothing they do should ever surprise me. https://twitter.com/RebeccaBuck/status/1312222480073928704
Someone replied to the following thread, stating that three reporters at the Rose Garden Ceremony have tested positive. I have not confirmed that anywhere.

@ReviewResist is updating the group photo as positives are identified. https://twitter.com/ReviewResist/status/1312217137537261571
White House physician Dr. Sean P. Conley reports Donald Trump is on Remdesivir. We already knew he was at Walter Reed. According to Conley they're also consulting with specialists at John Hopkins (first mention of that).

No details on his condition. https://twitter.com/PressSec/status/1312234451657805824
Bill Stepien, who replaced Brad Parscale on the Trump campaign, has tested positive for novel coronavirus. He joins:

Hope Hicks
Donald Trump
Melania Trump
Ronna McDaniel
Mike Lee
Thom Tillis
Kellyanne Conway
Notre Dame President Father John Jenkins
[1 or more WH reporters]
Maybe if the Trump administration tested less, they'd have fewer cases.

(I'll let myself out.)
There are repeated rumors that Chris Christie has also tested positive. He was certainly exposed. I haven't seen it confirmed in any way that makes me feel comfortable to share it as such.
